| Those who spent (or are spending) their formative years watching Kermit and Miss Piggy dance their special interspecies dance will revel in this spectacular, positively historic new Muppets CD, released just in time for the 25th anniversary of Jim Henson's The Muppet Show. A 20-page insert booklet, complete with color photos, details the fascinating history of Muppet music. Remember when Sesame Street's rendition of Jeff Moss's "Rubber Duckie" hit the kiddie pop charts? This 27-song CD harvests favorite and lesser-known recordings from feature films and from the original The Muppet Show, stringing songs ranging from Piero Umiliani's "Mahna Mahna" to Tony Burrello's "There's a New Sound" (the sound that's made by worms) together with skits and grand pronouncements and goofy sound effects like an old-time vaudeville show. A stunning variety of musical styles are showcased in this witty, wonderful collection that reminds us that a world without Fozzie Bear and Gonzo and Kermit and Miss Piggy would be less fuzzy indeed. --Karin Snelson Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

I will enjoy this CD forever! It's nostalgic and dated, like the Ed Sullivan show, Laugh In, and variety shows, but that's part of the charm. New audiences will love the catchy tunes you could hum or whistle to.

I thought this was a DVD. My 15mo old loves Elmo & Co. However, she pays no attention to this CD at all.

I had been looking all over for Kermit's songs, and this has them all. It sounds very good and now rests in my ipod.

This is an excellent CD for a rainy day or for when you're just plain down. It will bring a smile to your face and for most people a song they can sing along with.
Though some of the included tracks could have been left out simply because they aren't technically songs, they are all fun and deserve the time they are alotted.
I put this in my player whenever I feel down and it always brings a smile to my face and by the time it's gotten to "Rainbow Connection" I'm singing along at the top of my lungs!
Highly recommended for anyone that loves the Muppets, both old and new!

This is basically a Muppets "Greatest Hits" CD and is good for Muppet fans who don't have any of the original movie soundtracks. It combines Muppet Show classics with the best songs of the movies up through Muppets From Space. Will you recognize everything from the first 14 tracks? Probably not. I'm 29 and don't remember them all. Are there a few songs missing from the movies that should be here in favor of some of them? Maybe. But all of the really important ones are here.
Kermit's "Bein' Green" is one of my favorites, as it's sung in a very heartfelt manner. The big ones from the Muppet Movie, like "Rainbow Connection" and "Movin' Right Along", are also here. I particularly like the "Monologue with Fozzie Bear" track, as it is very indicative of the intelligent silliness that the Muppets were known for in their shows and movies. There are also a couple of Statler & Waldorf monologues hidden after a couple of tracks that aren't labelled on the CD, so listen to the tracks in their entirety or you could miss them. And, of course, "Mahna Mahna" is a classic that I only recognized from commercials (primarily because of my age) but is one of those catchy ditties that will easily become stuck in your head for a week to follow after hearing it.
Highly recommended for the fan who has no Muppet music in their collection and wants a nice summary of the classics on one CD.
